He supported the Romans in their wars against the Persians and was important for the development of an independent miaphysite episcopal hierarchy in the east since he asked for the installation of miaphysite bishops in his territory in 542, a process eventually leading to the consecration of Jacob Burd'oyo. 528-569 male 123; 208; 209; 216; 280 3.3.2; 3.4.21; 3.4.22; 3.4.36; 3.6.3 Arethas 111-113 111-113 123; 208; 209; 216; 280
